Everything is finalized and the nerves are setting in!



Recommended Posts

Hey y'all! So after many issues with my paperwork and insurance my surgeon's office finally got the approval letter this morning and was able to order my pre-op labs this afternoon and finally schedule my surgery. They told me a month ago it would be on May 18th and I wasn't really nervous even throughout the weekend. Now that everything is finalized and it's definitely happening Wednesday I'm starting to get incredibly nervous! Did anyone else feel this way once everything was finalized? Also any advice is appreciated! :)

-God bless!

Yes I know exactly how you feel. Its best to just stay focused on the end goal (your surgery!). You have come a long way and gotten over many hurdles. The moment you have worked so hard and long for is here. This is your time! Good luck! Can't wait to hear how you are doing.

One week post op having lap band removed. Now need to loose 15-20lbs then back in for bypass. Laproscopically procedures are So nice. First day is the worst day and that is not even so bad, I went home same day.Now with longer surg.( bypass) I dunno how much worse, I imagine it won't be as easy as band was but, way way easier than an open procedure. I think you will be pleasantly surprised and weight starts to fall off, that really makes any residual pain fly away. You will do soo great so smile and get excited life is gonna get so much better!!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
